How can a tutor help
your child
master the HSPT?

The HSPT, or High School Placement Test, is a standardized test which is given to students in the eighth grade who wish to gain acceptance to a competitive high school. Schools use students' HSPT results as part of their process for determining who they should admit to their school and who they should not. In that sense, it is very important to prepare for the HSPT to the best of one's abilities, as it can truly be the difference between getting into your top choice or not. If your child's currently preparing to take the HSPT, one great way to get them some extra help is by signing them up to work with a private tutor. Luckily, Varsity Tutors could help you find an experienced HSPT tutor in Mission Hills, CA, who could help your child attain success by creating a study plan that is focused on them.

When you sign your kid up to work with a private tutor, they'll gain access to a professional educator who is an expert on the HSPT. That level of access means that they'll always have somebody to ask their questions to, and that they'll be able to receive answers to their questions right away. This can save them a lot of time that they would have spent searching for that information themselves. Also, your child's tutor can work with them to first identify their weaknesses, and then develop a targeted study plan designed specifically to help them overcome those problem areas. That's just one of the reasons why working with a private tutor is a much more efficient process than preparing for the HSPT alone. If that sounds helpful to you, we can find your child an expert HSPT tutor in Mission Hills to optimize their study time.

Another great part about working with a tutor is the flexible nature of their schedules. Whether you prefer that they meet with your child at your home, somewhere around town, or even online in the form of a face-to-face meeting is entirely up to you. This leaves the power of their education in your hands, ensuring that you won't need to rearrange your life just to get your child the help they need preparing for the HSPT. With this level of flexibility, you'll find that an experienced HSPT tutor in Mission Hills can focus on those issues that your child is struggling with and do it on your schedule. This makes for a unique learning experience that provides many unique benefits.

So call us today to find an HSPT tutor in Mission Hills, CA, who can customize their approach to your child's abilities and learning style. With the importance of the HSPT to the competitive high school admissions process, it makes sense to prepare for the exam as best as possible. Working with a private tutor can do that for your child, so get in touch with us today and get them started now.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"We focused on the writing section. We went over the writing section of the diagnostic test I gave her during the last section. Then we did SAT grammar exercises on how to use the infinitive and the gerund, idiomatic expressions, pronouns, and past/future perfect tense. We also went over new vocabulary words."

"Vocabulary Card Review. Discuss breaking down words to roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Assign 15/vocabulary words a week drawn from personal reading and made into flashcards. Discuss parts of an essay and how to make an outline. Actually work through writing an outline on selected essay topics. Practice writing an essay."

"In our first meeting, we went over the SAT score report using it as a jumping off point to introduce some basic strategies (plugging in answers for the math section and a more general overview of guessing strategies and POE). We did a superficial run through of every question type except the essay (which needed the least work), and next week a few practice sections can establish a good baseline for which of these strategies work and which ones need to be modified."

"The student and I started off our session with a great discussion about her essay and the ways to improve it. She wrote a very solid essay. We went over example essays of 5's and 6's and talked about certain strategies that would improve her style and content. The second half of the session we worked on problems in the math and reading sections. She has improved greatly in reading especially vocabulary. Today we went through more strategies to tweak her own reading style to maximize the use of time while still understanding the content."

"Student A: We worked on a couple reading comprehension sections and then I had him work on a prompt to write an essay. His grammar and spelling were much better than last time. We will continue to work on essay writing next time. He was given some math practice to work on during the week.

Student B: I taught him a lesson on exponents and order of operations. He caught on quickly and has some practice problems to work on before next time. He is to write a paragraph using vocab words for his homework next time, also."

"The student and I worked through 50 Math questions. Her Math abilities are very strong! She is able to breeze through questions, picking up on concepts very quickly. Since she did not know about radicals, we went over radicals as these will be on the test. We also went through 25 verbal questions, and I quizzed her on the prefixes and vocabulary listed in the study guide that I made her. She did a great job, and I'm very excited to hear how well she does tomorrow!"
